Mazal Tasgal

Hello, I am Dr Mazal Tasgal, I am an existential psychotherapist and counsellor . I am accredited by the UKCP and the MBACP, and registered with the HCPC, the, - EMDR UK Association and the BPS as a Chartered Psychologist. I have worked with many different client groups, and I have accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experience. My specialist area is working with mother's of children with life limiting conditions.

I am also a consultant faculty member at the NSPC, a college that offers training in existential psychotherapy. I have over 20 years of experience in psychology and working with clients exploring all life offers them. Looking at how they might gain more understanding of themselves and the context of their lives.

I offer a safe and supportive space where you can explore your feelings, values and choices, and find meaning and purpose in your life. I believe that you are the expert of your own experience and that you have the potential to grow and change. I work collaboratively with you to help you discover your own resources and possibilities and to cope with the difficulties you may encounter.

I work with varied presentations from my many years both in private practice and the NHS. 

My work is intergrative, this means I use more than one modality when working although it is always through a phenomenological lens. Phenomenology simply means the lived experience as it is experienced by my client.  I have recently added EMDR to my way of working and this has enhanced the experience of therapy for many of my clients.

I  offer long or short-term therapy  short- term for those who want a block of upto 6 sessions. 

In the first session we will both explore if we can work together in a comfortable way. I will ask questions to get a good background  and feel for what has brought you to therapy. We can then set a goal for the work and re-evaluate as the therapy continues over the weeks that follow.
